Chapter 7: Semifinals.

The morning sun shined in the air, starting the day early as it was just 7:30 O'clock in the morning with most people still in bed, but not one Person, who was currently heading towards the Pokémon centre to rest up.

It was Ash, who was smiling brightly as he walked to the Pokémon centre with nether Pikachu or Espeon on his shoulders since he left them in bed. Ash got up early, like at 5:00 O'clock so that he could give his team that he was gonna use against Jon Dickson today a little training before the big match. Ash had left early with no one noticing since they were still asleep in bed, which gave Ash the perfect chance to escape.

He trained his team of Pokémon for a while hour, before he gave them an extra hour to relax and have fun, which they all appreciated with Ash happy to spend time with his 'Family'. Now Ash was heading back to the Pokémon centre to give them all breakfast and for him to have breakfast.

Ash right was making his way to the Pokémon center outside to get ready for his upcoming match against Jon Dickson and to sign up his team. Ash entered the Pokémon Center, but he then saw Lorenzo and Bianca having a small morning breakfast by a table, making Ash smile as he walked up to their table

"Bianca, Lorenzo, hey guys!" Ash called out with a smile, waving his right hand to his friends from Alto Mare, getting Bianca and Lorenzo's attention as they looked to see Ash walking up to them. "Hello Ash, good luck in your next match". Lorenzo wished the young Rainbow Hero good luck with a smile.

"Yeah, just win two more times and you'll win the league". Bianca said to her friend with a smile, though she sounded a little nervous and her cheeks a little red. "Thanks for the support you guys." Ash said to Bianca and Lorenzo with a smile, rubbing the back of his head with his right hand before he felt a hand pat him on his shoulder, getting him to look to see Brock, Misty, Pikachu, Espeon and Togepi behind them.

"You've come a long way Ash, you'll do great". Brock said to his young friend with a smile, having faith that Ash will win the league."Yeah, we know you can do it." Misty said to Ash with a smile and holding Togepi in her arms, encouraging her friend. "Togepi''. Togepi said with a smile as she raised her hands in the air for Ash.

"Pika/ Espe!" Pikachu and Espeon shouted in agreement, smiling at their trainer and encouraging him to do his best. Ash looked around at all his friends, before he smiled at the support his friends had given him. "Thanks guys, I promise that I won't lose''. Ash said to all his friends with a smile, which they all gave a nod to him.


(4 hours later)

After the words of encouragement from all his friends, Ash had breakfast with everyone, including Gary, with everyone getting to know each other. Bianca and Delia got along well, but Bianca seemed to have been a little nervous, which Delia figured out that she had a crush on her son, making the mother of the Rainbow Hero smile at how Ash is becoming more and more like his father.

After the nice breakfast together, Ash went to register his team for his battle today, while checking up on Jon Dickson's data. Ash could tell that he's gonna be a tough opponent, but he had a little insurance policy called Mega Evolution for his battle. Soon Ash did a little more training with one particular Pokémon with Gary leading a hand, which Ash appreciated him for that. Now the time for Ash's semifinal battle to began.

"Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the first match of the semifinals. We have two trainers here ready to do battle, but only one of them will move onto the finals. First we have Jon Dickson of Sento Cherry Town, who has steadily climbed his way up to the semifinals and the other trainer is young Ash Ketchum!" The announcer shouted out as the crowd cheered as both Jon Dickson and Ash walked to their sides the battlefield, with Ash waving at the crowd with both hands, while Misty, Brock, Psyduck, Polietoed, Pikachu, Espeon and Togepi were already in Ash's couch corner.

"I'm so proud of him". Delia said with tears of happiness for her son, sitting next to Professor Oak, Elm, Gary, Bianca and Lorenzo, taking pictures of his son. "That's natural, because Ash has broken the record of the youngest Trainer ever to make it to the semifinals, only being 11-tears-old and 10 month". Lorenzo said to Delia with a smile and arms crossed, understanding why she is happy.

"True, Ash has made Pallet Town proud by coming this far. Even if Ash loses against Jon Dickson, we'll all be proud of him". Oak told to the group with a smile, also proud of Ash for getting this far, before he looked up at the sky. 'You'd be so proud of your son if you were here right now'. Professor Oak thought to himself with a smile, thinking of Ash's father and how proud he would be.

"And now we shall determine which battlefield that these two trainers will be battling on!" The announcer called out as everyone looked at the screen as it began dancing through the four selections, before stopping on the ice shaped one. "And they will battle on an Ice Battlefield!''. The announcer called out as the natural shape battlefield was swapped out by an Ice battlefield.

"Now we will determine which trainer will go first!" The announcer called out as the colors on the screen began flashing through, before they stopped on the red color. "And Jon Dickson will send out his Pokémon first!" The announcer called out as the crowd cheered in excitement, while Jon Dickson brought out a Poké Ball in his right hand.

"Okay let's do this Haunter!" Jon shouted out, throwing his Poké Ball that released the Ghost and Poison-type. "Haunter!" Haunter called out with its ever so crazy smile. "And Jon Dickson's first Pokémon is Haunter!" The announcer called out as Haunter took Jon's first dark slot. "Now which Pokémon will Ash send out to battle Jon Dickson's Haunter!?" The announcer called out as Ash brought out an Ultra Ball in his right hand.

"Let's do this Pupitar!" Ash shouted out, throwing the Ultra Ball that released his Rock and Ground-type. "Pupitar!" Pupitar called out as he landed on the ground, causing a small earthquake. "And Ash's first Pokémon is Pupitar!" The announcer called out as Pupitar took Ash's first dark slot. "Let the match began!" The referee called out as he raised both hands into the air for the match to begin.

(Ash and Pupitar, plus five more V.S Jon Dickson ND Haunter, plus five more)

'I've come so far since Alto Mare and grown so much since then. I'm just one battle away from facing Cross again, and there's no way I'm losing!' Ash thought to himself, determine to not lose this battle. "Pupitar, let's start off with Dragon Dance!" Ash called out as he held his right hand out. "Pupitar!" Pupitar called out as he glowed in a darkish red color, increasing his speed and power.

"Ketchum starts off with Dragon Dance, which increases Pupitar's Speed and Power!" The announcer explained to the stadium as the crowd watched in excitement. "Haunter, Shadow Ball go!" Jon Dickson called out as he held his right hand out, ordering Haunter on what move to use. "Haunter!" Haunter called out with a smirk as a Shadow Ball appeared between his two hands, before he fired it at Pupitar.

"Pupitar, counter with Stone Edges!" Ash called out with narrowed eyes, holding his right fist out. "Pupitar!" Pupitar called out as he jumped up and down, slamming into the earth as rock pillars started appearing from the ground, heading towards Haunter, while dispersing Shadow Ball.

"Haunter, use Protect!" Jon Dickson called out as Haunter gained a light green energy shield around him, protecting him from Stone Edges when it tried to slam into him. "Alright then, use Dark Pulse!" Ash called out to Pupitar, who nodded as he gathered dark energy in front of him, before he unleashed Dark Pulse to Haunter. "Use Energy Ball to counter Pupitar's Dark Pulse!" Jon Dickson called out as Haunter gathered green energy between his hands, before he fired Energy ball, which the two attacks slammed into each other, causing an explosion.

"Pupitar used Dark Pulse, while Haunter used Energy Ball to counter, and now smoke covers the battlefield!" The announcer called out as smoke from the explosion covered the battlefield, which everyone waited for to clear to see what happened to Pupitar and Haunter. Soon the smoke cleared to show neither Pokémon took any damage. "There they are, and neither side took any damage!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd cheered, waiting to see what happens next.

"Haunter, use your own Dark Pulse!" Jon Dickson called out as Haunter gathered dark energy between his hands, before he fired it at Pupitar. "Pupitar, use the battlefield to protect yourself!" Ash called out to Pupitar, who jumped over to hide behind an icicle rock, which Dark Pulse destroyed and covered Pupitar from view.

"Pupitar used the field to protect itself from Haunter's Dark Pulse, but now we don't know what happened to Pupitar!" The announcer called out as everyone waited for the smoke to clear to show Pupitar. Soon the smoke cleared to show that Pupitar was gone. "Pupitar is gone!" The announcer called out in surprise, while Jon and Haunter widen their eyes in surprise.

Then the ground under Haunter burst opened as Pupitar came out and slammed into Haunter, causing Haunter to flinch. "Haunter!" Jon called out in surprise at seeing Pupitar attack from under. "What a surprise! Pupitar used Dig to hide itself, before it attacked!" The announcer called out in surprise as the crowd cheered for Pupitar. "Good job Pupitar, now use Dark Pulse!" Ash called out with a smirk on his face.

"Pupitar!" Pupitar called out as he gathered dark energy in front of him, before he unleashed it at Haunter. "Quickly, use Protect!" Jon called out in concern as Haunter's green shield appeared around him, protecting him from Dark Pulse. "There's our chance, use Stone Edge!''. Ash ordered Pupitar, who nodded as he slammed into the ground, before stone pillars came out of the ground, with one hitting Haunter in the stomach when Protect disappeared, causing a small explosion.

"Haunter, no!" Jon called out in concern for his Haunter, while the smoke from Stone Edge cleared to show Haunter on the ground by its back with swirls in its eyes. "Haunter is unable to battle! Pupitar wins!" The referee called out as he raised the green flag to Ash's side of the field, while Haunter's Icon went black.

(Victor: Pupitar)

"Nice job Pupitar you did great out there". Ash said to Pupitar with a proud smile, looking at the young Pokémon, proud of him for beating Haunter and getting him the first victory. "Pupitar!" Pupitar replied with an eye smile, happy that he had made his adoptive father proud. Suddenly, he felt an odd sensation wash over him as his body began to glow bright white as his form began to change, making everyone widen their eyes in surprise.

"What the heck!" Jon exclaimed in surprise at what he's seeing, while Pupitar started getting bigger, arms forming, legs and a tail. "Pupitar's evolving!" Misty exclaimed in surprise as she, Brock, Pikachu, Espeon, Togepi, Psyduck and Togepi watched in shock. "Raaahhhhh!" The newly evolved Tyranitar roared as he stood proudly, easily stomping on an ice rock and crushing it.

"I don't believe it! Once again, another of Ash's Pokémon has pulled off a mid-battle evolution! This time it's one of the pseudo Legendary Pokémon!" The announcer exclaimed in excitement as the crowd cheered for Tyranitar, while Pupitar's Icon was replaced by Tyranitar. "Way to go, Tyranitar! You've evolved!" Ash called out in joy, while Tyranitar smirked.

"So what if it evolved!" Jon Dickson shouted out, pulling out his next Poke Ball in his right hand. "That's not gonna stop me! Let's go Rapidash!" Jon shouted out as he threw his Poké Ball, releasing the flaming horse Pokémon, who let loose a loud cry, stomping it's feet across the ground.

"And Jon Dickson's second Pokémon is Rapidash!" The announcer called out in excitement as Jon's second dark slot showed Rapidash. "Okay then, let's fight fire with fire. Come back, Tyranitar!" Ash called out as he returned Tyranitar to his Ultra Ball, before he put it away and brought out a Poké Ball. "Come out Typhlosion!" Ash called out as he threw the Poke Ball, sending out the fully evolved fire Johto starter.

"Hlisssonnnn!" Typhlosion roared as he appeared, standing on two feet as his flames burst from his back. "And Ash's switches out his newly evolved Tyranitar for Typhlosion. It's a battle between two Fire-type Pokémon!" The announcer called out in excitement as Tyranitar's Icon turned off, but kept the color as Tyranitar could still battle, while Ash's second dark icon showed Typhlosion.

(Typhlosion V.S Rapidash)

"Typhlosion/ Rapidash use Flamethrower!" Both Ash and Jon called out to their Pokémon with narrowed eyes as both Typhlosion and Rapidash unleashed Flamethrower from their mouths, which had a power struggle and started melting the ice around the two Fire-types. "Talk about flame on! Both Typhlosion and Rapidash's Flamethrowers are melting the field!" The announcer called out in surprise as the field continued to melt a bit, but not too much.

"Rapidash, use Drill Run!" Jon called out as he held his right hand out, which Rapidash stopped using Flamethrower and started charging at Typhlosion with his horn out, with brown energy surrounding the flaming horse, easily charging past Typhlosion's Flamethrower. "Quick Typhlosion, use Double Team!" Ash called out to his fully evolved Fire-type, who nodded as he stopped using Flamethrower, before two copies appeared on his left and right side.

Rapidash charged into the middle Typhlosion, but went right through since that one was a fake and charged into an ice rock, his horn hitting the rock and trapping himself, making Rapidash widen his eyes in shock. "Talk about bad luck! Rapidash missed the real Typhlosion and is now stuck!" The announcer called out in excitement as the right Typhlosion disappeared, showing that the left one was real, with Typhlosion turning around to look at Rapidash.

"Typhlosion, use Solar Beam!" Ash called out with confidence, which Typhlosion gave out a cry as he started gather energy in front of his open mouth, with a yellow orb of energy starting to appear. "Rapidash quickly, get out of there!'' Jon called out to his Fire-type, who struggled hard to escape from his stuck position.

Soon Typhlosion stopped gathering energy and unleashed a powerful yellow Solar Beam, hitting Rapidash and causing an explosion, forcing everyone to use their hands to protect their eyes from the shock waves. Soon, after 10 seconds, the smoke from Typhlosion's Solar Beam cleared to show Rapidash free, but lying down on the ground on its side with swirls in its eyes.

"Rapidash is unable to battle! Typhlosion wins!" The referee called out as he raised the green flag to Ash's side of the field, with Rapidash's Icon going black. "And after a battle between two Fire-types, Ketchum's Typhlosion comes out as the victor!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd cheered for both Ash and Typhlosion.

(Victor: Typhlosion)

"You're doing great, Typhlosion! Keep it up!" Ash praised his fully evolved Fire-type with a smile, which Typhlosion gave out a cry as the flames on his back burned brighter. Jon said nothing as he returned Rapidash to his Poké Ball, before he brought out another Poké Ball, this time looking excited. "It's your turn now!" Jon called out as he threw the Poké Ball, releasing his own Tyranitar, who gave out a roar and caused a sandstorm to appear in the battlefield, making Ash and Typhlosion narrow their eyes.

"Jon Dickson sends out his own Tyranitar to battle against Ketchum's Typhlosion with Jon Dickson having the advantage this time! Tyranitar's ability, Sand Stream is helping out since it powers up Tyranitar's Rock Type moves!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd was getting more excited, while Jon's third dark icon showed Tyranitar.

(Tyranitar V.S Typhlosion)

"Tyranitar, lets kick this off with a rocking Stone Edge!" Jon called out a smirk, holding his right hand out. "RRRHHH!" Jon's Tyranitar roared as he held up his right fist, before he slammed it to the ground, which stone pillars starting to come out of the ground, heading towards Typhlosion, who braced himself. "Typhlosion, use Flamethrower on the ground!" Ash called out to his fully evolved Fire Type.

Typhlosion gave out a cry as he used Flamethrower on the ground, sending him into the sky, dogging Stone Edge. "What!?" Jon called out in surprise as he looked up at Typhlosion, with Tyranitar doing the same. "What a surprise! Typhlosion used Flamethrower to dodge Tyranitar's Stone Edge and get some distance!" The announcer called out in surprise at seeing Typhlosion dodge Tyranitar's Stone Edge.

"Now Typhlosion, use Solar Beam!" Ash called out with confidence, which Typhlosion gave out a cry as he started gather energy in front of his open mouth, with a yellow orb of energy starting to appear, before he unleashed Solar Beam. "Quickly, use Hyper Beam!" Jon called out to his Tyranitar, who roared as he fired an orange Hyper Beam from his mouth, which collided with Typhlosion's Solar Beam and caused an explosion.

"Another clash of power as Typhlosion's Solar Beam and Tyranitar's Hyper Beam clash and cause another explosion!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd cheered, while Typhlosion landed on the ground, glaring at Tyranitar, who glared back. "Come back, Typhlosion!" Ash suddenly called out, returning Typhlosion to his Poke Ball that he was holding with his right hand.

"Ketchum has returned Typhlosion! Which Pokémon will he send out next!?" The announcer called out as Ash put Typhlosion's Poke Ball in his jacket, before he brought out an Ultra Ball in his right hand. "It's your turn now Scizor, let's go!" Ash called out as he threw his Ultra Ball, releasing the Steel and Bug-type. "Scizorrr!" Ash's Scizor called out as he held his claws in an 'X' position, glaring at Tyranitar, not bothered by the sandstorm.

"And Ketchum sends out Scizor to finish what Typhlosion started!" The announcer called out as Typhlosion's icon went black, but kept the color as Ash's third dark icon showed Scizor. "Great plan since Tyranitar has the disadvantage against Scizor". Brock commented with a smile at how Ash has the advantage. "Let's hope this goes well''. Misty said in concern for Ash, while the Pokémon kept cheering.

(Typhlosion switched out by Scizor)

"Use Iron Head, Scizor!" Ash called out with confidence, holding out his right hand as Scizor was covered in metal energy, before he charged at Tyranitar, landing a hit and sending the Rock and Dark-type back. "Talk about quick as lightning! Scizor landed an effective hit at super speed!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd cheered.

"Why didn't Tyranitar try to dodge?" Delia asked in confusion at why Tyranitar didn't dodge Scizor's Iron Head. "It couldn't since Tyranitar used Hyper Beam, which keeps the user from moving at all". Professor Oak explained to Delia, telling her why Tyranitar didn't dodge Iron Head. "If Ash keeps this up, he'll win!" Elm exclaimed with a smile, which everyone nodded to him as they continued watching.

"I have plenty of moves increase this would happen. Tyranitar, use Flamethrower!" Jon called out as he held his right hand out, which Tyranitar gave out a roar as he unleashed Flamethrower from his mouth. "Defend yourself with Swords Dance, Scizor!" Ash called out to Scizor, who gave a nod as he held his claws in an 'X' position as Flamethrower slammed into him in the front.

"And Tyranitar's Flamethrower hits! Question is, what happened to Scizor!" The announcer called out as Tyranitar kept using Flamethrower, still hitting Scizor in the front, before the Scizor released his now glowing claws, revealing that he didn't take any damage. "Incredible! Scizor is unharmed!" The announcer called out in awe, as were the crowd.

"Impossible, how did Swords Dance protect Scizor from Flamethrower?" Jon questioned in shock at seeing Scizor unharmed from Flamethrower. "Use Aerial Ace, Scizor!" Ash called out to his Scizor. "Scizorrr!" Scizor called out as he spread his wings, before he turned into a red blur that went and kept slamming into Tyranitar, dealing damage to Tyranitar, who roared in pain.

"It may not do so much damage, but Aerial Ace is dealing lots of damage!" The announcer called out as the crowd cheered, while Jon gritted his teeth against each other. "Tyranitar, use Rock Polish!" Jon called out to his fully evolved Rock and Dark-type, who started shining like a rock, before he started blocking Scizor's Aerial Aces. Tyranitar then grabbed Scizor's right claw, making Scizor and Ash widen their eyes in surprise. "Tyranitar caught Scizor!?" Ash called out in surprise at seeing Tyranitar catch Scizor's attack.

Jon smirked with confidence when he saw his Tyranitar catch Scizor's attack. "Now Tyranitar, use Flamethrower at full power!" Jon called out with a smirk as he held his right hand out, which Tyranitar gave out a roar as he began gathering energy in his mouth to fire Flamethrower.

"This isn't good!" Misty exclaimed in concern as she, Brock and the Pokémon watched in concern, knowing that this will be a super effective hit on Scizor. "Ash has to do something quick, or Scizor is gonna lose". Brock said in concern as well, having his arms crossed. "Pika pi! /Espe! / Politoed! / Psy? / Toge!" All the Pokémon called out, still cheering for Scizor and Ash.

"Scizor, use Silver Wind quickly!" Ash called out to Scizor, who quickly started flapping his wings, unleashing a Silver wind attack, right as Tyranitar unleashed Flamethrower, causing a powerful explosion between the two Pokémon and covering them from view. "Right before Tyranitar unleashed Flamethrower, Scizor used Silver wind to counter. The only question left is that who survived!" The announcer called out as the crowd waited for the smoke from the explosion to clear.

Soon the smoke from the explosion cleared to show both Pokémon lying down on their backs with swirls in their eyes, showing that they couldn't battle anymore. "Both Tyranitar and Scizor are unable to battle!" The referee called out as he raised both flags with Tyranitar and Scizor's icons going black.

(Draw)

"It's a double knock out and the first Pokémon that Ketchum has lost since the beginning of the battle!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd cheered for both Ash and Jon, who returned their Pokémon to their Poké Balls. (Ultra Ball in Scizor's case)

"Since Jon Dickson has lost three Pokémon, we'll now cut to a five minute break''. The announcer told the crowd as Ash and Jon Dickson went to their couch corners, with Misty giving Ash a water bottle to drink, which he took and thanked her, while Brock and the Pokémon started talking to Ash about the battle.

"Ash is doing incredible". Oak said with a smile on his face and arms crossed, while Delia was checking through the pictures that she took. "Indeed, Ash has five Pokemon, while Jon has three left". Professor Elm said with an impressed look on his face, impressed with how Ash is doing.

"He's switching his Pokémon to have the type advantage and to see what kind of battling style that Jon uses". Lorenzo said with a smile and arms crossed, while Bianca was finishing a quick drawing. "Ash has really changed a lot since he started his journey". Gary said with a smile and arms crossed, proud of his childhood friend.

Soon five minutes passed and both Ash and Jon were back on their sides of the battlefield. 'Just three more left to beat, then I'm in the finals and can finally battle Cross again!' Ash thought to himself with a smirk, feeling excitement at the thought of battling Cross again. "Since Jon Dickson send out his Pokémon first in the first round of the battle, Ash Ketchum will send out his Pokémon first this time!" The announcer called out as the crowd cheered, while Ash brought out a Poke Ball.

"You're up Donphan, let's go!" Ash called out as he threw his Poke Ball, releasing his evolved Donphan that used to be his Phanpy. "Donphan!" Donphan roared out as he appeared, moving his front right foot like he was a bull, ready to charge at something. "And Ketchum's fourth Pokémon is Donphan!" The announcer called out as Ash's fourth dark icon showed Donphan.

"You ready to rock and roll, Donphan!?" Ash called out with a smirk, ready to battle for his spot in the finals. "Donphan!" Donphan called out, his way of agreeing with his 'father'. "What Pokémon will Jon sent out to battle Ash's Donphan?!" The announcer questioned as Jon brought out a Poke Ball with his right hand.

"Go Victreebel, I choose you!" Jon Dickson called out as he threw his Poke Ball, releasing the Grass and Poison-type, who gave out a cry as it appeared. "And Jon Dickson sends out a Victreebel, who has the advantage against Donphan!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd was getting more excited.

(Donphan V.S Victreebel)

"Victreebel, let's start this off with Leaf Blade!" Jon Dickson called out as he held his right hand out, which Victreebel gave out a cry as its leafs like-arms glowed bright green, before Victreebel charged at Donphan. "Donphan, counter with Giga Impact!" Ash called out as he held his right hand out, which Donphan gave out a cry as he charged, being surrounded by Giga Impact, before he clashed with Victreebel, causing a powerful explosion.

"It's only the start of the second round and there's already an explosion!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd covered their eyes from the smoke, while Victreebel came out of the smoke and slammed into an ice rock, having been beaten by Donphan's Giga Impact. The smoke from the explosion cleared to show Donphan standing tall on all four, having not taken any damage.

"Alright, Donphan's Giga Impact was stronger than Victreebel's Leaf Blade!" Misty called out in joy at seeing Donphan's Giga Impact win against Victreebel's Leaf Blade. "Togepi". Togepi said as she waved the flag around for Donphan. "The only problem is that Donphan can't move now, thanks to Giga Impact". Brock stated with narrowed eyes, knowing of the price for using Giga Impact. "Pika pi! / Espeee!" Pikachu and Espeon called out, cheering for Donphan.

"Victreebel, use Giga Drain to suck Donphan's energy away!" Jon called out to his Grass and Poison-type, who nodded and got back up, before Victreebel used its vine to wrap around Donphan's stomach and started sucking Donphan's energy, who closed his eyes in pain. "And Jon Dickson's Victreebel lands a super effective Giga Drain!" The announcer called out in excitement as Victreebel started glowing green, regaining energy.

"This isn't good. If Ash doesn't do something fast, Donphan is gonna run out of energy and Victreebel will be fully healed". Brock explained to Misty without looking at her, frowning at the situation. "Ash…" Misty said in concern as she held her hands together in concern, like she was praying. Ash remained calm as he crossed his arms, waiting for Donphan to be able to move again.

Soon Donphan's eyes shot open, before he gave out a cry, making Ash smirk at seeing Donphan able to move again. "That's it Donphan, now time to get some pay back on Victreebel for sucking your energy from you! Now use Fire Fang!" Ash called out with confidence as he held his left fist out, which Donphan used his strength to rill in Victreebel close, making the Grass and Poison-type cry out in surprise.

Donphan's mouth gained flames around his mouth as he bite Victreeble on the stomach, making Vectreeble cry out in pain from the super effective move. "Victreeble, hang in there!" Jon Dickson called out to his Victreeble, who jumped away from Donphan, while having a burned bite mark on his stomach. "Donphan's Fire Fang caused huge amount of damage for Victreeble, probably making Victreeble lose all the energy that he drained!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd kept cheering for Ash.

"Good job Donphan, now return!" Ash called out as he returned Donphan to his Poké Ball that he was holding with his right hand, returning the Ground-type. "And Ash calls back Donphan!" The announcer called out as Donphan's icon went black, but kept the color, showing that Donphan can still battle. "Typhlosion, come back out!" Ash called out as he threw Typhlosion's Poké Ball, releasing the fully evolved Fire Type. "Typhlosion, again!?" Jon called out in irritation as Typhlosion's icon turned back on.

(Victreebel V.S Typhlosion)

"Flamethrower Typhlosion, let's go!" Ash called out as he held out his open right hand, which Typhlosion gave out a roar as the flames on the back of his neck came to life, before he unleashed his Flamethrower from his mouth, easily hitting Victreebel and sending it back. Victreebel then slammed into an icy rock on its back, before he slid down to the ground with swirls in its eyes.

"Victreebel is unable to battle! Typhlosion wins!" The referee called out as he raised the green flag to Ash's side of the field, while Victreebel's icon went black. "And with that, Jon Dickson is left with only two Pokémon left!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd cheered, while Jon returned Victreebel to his Poké Ball.

(Victor: Typhlosion)

Jon Dickson put away his Poké Ball, before he looked at Ash on the other side of the field, before he began to smile. 'Amazing, he's only been on his journey for nearly 2 years, yet he is already so powerful, leaving me with two Pokémon, while he has 5 Pokémon. However, I will win and advance to the finals!' Jon Dickson thought to himself with narrowed eyes as he brought out a Poké Ball with his right hand.

"Rhyhorn, show them all your power!" Jon Dickson called out as he threw the Poké Ball, releasing the Rock and Ground-type, who landed on its feet on the ice battlefield, glaring at Typhlosion. "And Jon Dickson's fifth Pokémon is Rhyhorn, giving the advantage to Jon Dickson again!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd cheered, while Jon Dickson's fifth icon showed Rhyhorn.

(Rhyhorn V.S Typhlosion)

"Use Double Team Typhlosion, confuse Rhyhorn!" Ash called out to Tyhlosion, who let out a cry as he created doubles of himself, surrounding Rhyhorn in a circle. "It's no use, Earthquake Rhyhorn, go!" Jon called out with a smile, which Rhyhorn gave out a roar as it stomped on the ground, causing a powerful earthquake, causing Typhlosion to flinch in pain, while the doubles disappeared, with the real one being on Rhyhorn's left side.

"Typhlosion!" Ash called out in concern for his fully evolved Fire Type. "Typhlosion tried using Double Team to confuse Rhyhorn, but Earthquake stopped Ketchum's strategy easily!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd cheered. "Now Rhydorn, use Horn Drill!" Jon called out with a smirk of confidence as Rhyhorn charged at Typhlosion with its horning glowing with energy.

"Typhlosion, try to stop Rhyhorn with Flamethrower!" Ash called out to Typhlosion with narrowed eyes, which Typhlosion opened his eyes and unleashed Flamethrower from his mouth at Rhyhorn, who kept charging through the Flamethrower as it took damage, before he slammed into Typhlosion's stomach, making the Fire-type eyes widen in pain as he was sent flying and smashed into an ice rock with swirls in his eyes.

"Typhlosion is unable to battle! Rhyhorn wins!" The referee called out as he raised the Red Flag to Jon's side of the field, while Typhlosion's Icon went dark, showing that Typhlosion couldn't battle anymore. "Rhyhorn defeated Typhlosion single handily!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd cheered.

(Victor: Rhyhorn)

Ash returned Typhlosion to his Poké Ball with a smile as he looked at the device. "Typhlosion, you were awesome out there, take a nice long rest". Ash said to the Poké Ball with a smile, before it put it away in his jacket and brought out a Poké Ball. "Dragonair, it's your turn to shine!" Ash called out as he threw the Poké Ball, releasing the Dragon-type, who gave out a cry as he appeared, floating a little above the ground.

"And Ash's fifth Pokémon is Dragonair, a very rare Pokémon!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd cheered, while Ash's fifth icon showed Dragonair. 'We've come too far, so there's no way that I'm gonna lose before I have the chance to battle Cross!' Ash thought to himself with narrowed eyes, refusing to accept defeat.

(Dragonair V.S Rhyhorn)

"Use Horn Attack, Rhyhorn!" Jon Dickson called out, which Rhyhorn charged at Dragonair. "Use Iron Tail to counter Horn Attack, Dragonair!" Ash called out as he held his right fist out, which Dragonair gave a cry as his tail glowed, before he slammed it into Rhyhorn, who stroke with Horn Attack. Both attacks had a power struggle, before both Pokémon were pushed back from each other.

"Use Flamethrower, Dragonair!" Ash called out with narrowed eyes, which Dragonair gave out a cry as he unleashed Flamethrower from his mouth. "Counter Flamethrower with Thunderbolt!" Jon called out with a smirk as Rhyhorn's horn sparked with electricity, before he unleashed Thunderbolt from his horn, with the two attacks slamming into each other, causing an explosion.

"Once again, another explosion. It seems no matter what battle Ketchum is in, there's always an explosion!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd cheered, while the smoke from the explosion cleared to show that nether Pokémon took any damage and were glaring at each other.

"Rhyhorn, let's get this over with! Use Horn Drill!" Jon Dickson called out as he held his right fist out, which Rhyhorn charged at Dragonair with its horn glowing with energy, while Dragonair didn't bother to move as Rhyhorn charged at him. "Ash, what are you doing!?" Misty called out in concern for Ash, who just stood there. "Pika pika!" Pikachu called out to his best friend in panic. "Espeee!" Espeon cried out in worry as well.

When Rhyhorn was close, that's when Ash acted. "Dragonair, dodge using Extreme Speed!" Ash called out with a smirk of confidence, which Dragonair glowed white, before he moved at incredible speed, dodging Horn Drill and was now at Rhyhorn's side. "Now use Iron Tail!" Ash called out with a smirk, which Dragonair gave a cry as he slammed his metal glowing tail into Rhyhorn's left side, sending the Rock and Ground-type to an ice rock.

"Rhyhorn!" Jon Dickson called out in concern for his Rhyhorn, who struggled to stand back up. "This is our chance Dragonair, finish this with Dragon Pulse!" Ash called out with a smirk of confidence, holding his right fist out. Dragonair let out a cry as an energy dragon of Dragon Pulse came out of his mouth and went to Rhyhron, causing an explosion from making contact.

"And Dragon Pulse hits! Will Rhyhorn be able to continue battling after taking Dragon Pulse!?" The announcer called out as the smoke cleared to show Rhyhorn lying down on his stomach with swirls in his eyes, showing that he can't battle anymore. "Rhyhorn is unable to battle! Dragonair wins!" The referee called out as he raised the green flag to Ash's side of the field, while Rhyhorn's Icon went black.

(Victor: Dragonair)

"And with that, Jon Dickson is left with one Pokémon left!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd cheered, while Jon returned Rhyhorn to his Poké Ball. "Good job Dragonair, one more win and it's off to the finals!" Ash called to Dragonair with a smile, which Dragonair gave out a cry of joy.

"Just one more left and then Ash is in the finals". Misty commented with a smile, so proud of Ash. "He can do it, I know he can". Brock said with a smile on his face, proud of Ash so far. "Pika pi/ Espeee!" Pikachu and Espeon cried out as they waved their flags for Ash, with the other Pokémon doing the same.

"I can't believe that you got me down to my last Pokémon, but this is the end because she'll beat the rest of your team by herself!" Jon called out with a smirk as he held a Poké Ball in his right hand. "Togetic, let's go!" Jon Dickson called out as he threw the Poke Ball, releasing the evolved form of Togepi, who flew in the air with a smile.

"And Jon Dickson's Last Pokémon is Togetic!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd cheered for Togetic, while Jon Dickson's last dark slot showed Togetic. Ash looked at Togetic with wide eyes of surprise, not expecting Jon's last Pokémon to be a Togetic. "Is…that Pokémon…Togepi's…" Ash said as he looked over his left shoulder to look at Togepi, who was being happy as usual with Misty also looking surprised, before he looked back at the battle.

(Dragonair V.S Togetic)

"Dragonair, use Extreme Speed, and follow it up with Iron Tail!" Ash called out as he held his left hand out, which Dragonair was surrounded by white energy, before he went super-fast towards Togetic with his tail turning into metal. "Use Protect!" Jon called out with a smirk on his face, which Togetic gave out a cry as a green energy shield appeared around her, protecting her from Dragonair's Iron Tail.

"Jon Dickson's Togetic used Protect to protect itself from Iron Tail!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd cheered. "Now use Dazzling Gleam!" Jon Dickson called out with a smirk as Togetic gave out a cry, before she unleashed a bright flash of energy that stroke Dragonair, dealing massive damage and sending the Dragon-type Pokémon smashing into an ice rock.

'Damn it! So Togetic is a Fairy-type, huh? Well, if Dragonair is going down, he's going down with style!' Ash thought to himself with a smirk. "Use Flamethrower, Dragonair!" Ash called out to Dragonair, who nodded as he unleashed Flamethrower from his mouth. "Togetic, counter with Shock Wave!" Jon Dickson called out with a smirk, which Togetic held her hands into the air as light blue electricity started to appear, before she fired it at Flamethrower, which the two attacks collided and caused an explosion.

"Shock Wave from Togetic and Flamethrower from Dragonair, nether Pokémon are giving up!" The announcer called out to the stadium as the crowd cheered for both sides. Jon Dickson and Togetic waited for the smoke to clear to show Dragonair and Ash so that they could attack. However, Dragonair appeared in front of Togetic in the air with a white aura surrounding him, making both Jon and Togetic widen their eyes in surprise.

'He used Extreme Speed when he was hidden. Clever!' Jon thought to himself with narrowed eyes. "Dragonair, give them Iron Tail, and make it super powerful!" Ash called out to Dragonair from his side of the field, which the Dragon-type gave out a cry of agreement as his tail turned into metal, before he slammed it into Togetic's stomach, dealing lots of damage.

"And Dragonair lands a super effective Iron Tail!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd cheered. "End this with Dazzling Gleam!" Jon called out with narrowed eyes, which Togetic unleashed Dazzling Gleam at close range, causing an explosion in the sky. "Dragonair!" Ash called out in concern for his Dragonair, with the Dragon-type falling from the smoke and landed on the field on his stomach, having swirls in his eyes.

"Dragonair is unable to battle! Togetic wins!" The referee called out as he raised the red flag to Jon's side of the field, with Dragonair's icon turning dark. "And now Ash Ketchum is left with only 3 Pokemon left!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd cheered.

(Victor: Togetic)

Ash returned Dragonair to his Poke Ball with a smile. "Dragonair, you were awesome out there. Take a nice long rest and leave everything to us''. Ash whispered to the Poke Ball with a smile, before he put it away in his jacket. Ash then brought out one of his Master Balls in his right hand. "It's your turn to shine Latias, let's go!" Ash called out as he threw the Master Ball into the sky, releasing Latias, who descended into the sky, before she flew back to the field in front of Ash with her paws ducked in. Latias had a red earring on her bottom left fin, which kept a Latiasite Mega Stone.

Jon and the crowd gasped in pure shock at seeing Latias, seeing the similarities that she had to Latios. "Latias is looking good". Bianca said with a smile as she began drawing a picture of Latias with Ash. The announcer seemed to recover quickly from seeing Latias and spoke. "Well folks, it seems Ash has another rare Pokémon that looks like his Latios. Maybe it can do Mega Evolution as well!" The announcer called out as Ash's sixth dark slot showed Latias.

(Latias V.S Togetic)

"Alright Latias, let's do this. Mega Evolve!" Ash called out, holding up his clenching left fist, before he pressed the Key Stone on his glove with his right hand's index and middle fingers. The earring around Latias's ear began to shine brightly as the Key Stone activated with the steams of energy connecting her and Ash, before she soared up into the sky with a purple energy dragon following behind her as she travelled through five golden hoops that appeared from the Key Stone and Mega Stone's energy, shattering through them, till she reached the last one.

She soared through the sky in her Mega Evolved form. The red parts of her body had changed to purple. Horns grow from the side of its head and run along its jaw. It loses the wings on its back and similar but larger wings attach to its lower arms, normally held in a level position. Triangle shapes now mark the forward point of its wings instead if its chest. Latias released a powerful cry as she hovered in front of Ash with the DNA symbol appearing in front of her, before it disappeared.

"No way! Not another one!" Jon exclaimed in shock at seeing another Mega Evolved Pokémon, while the crowd was cheering in excitement at seeing another Mega Evolution. "Wow, even Latias can Mega Evolve!" Bianca said in amazement as she began drawing a picture of Mega Latias and Ash. "I must admit that I'm surprised to see that Latias can Mega Evolve as well''. Lorenzo said with his arms crossed, surprised to see that Latias can Mega Evolve, while Delia took a picture.

Ash looked at Mega Latias with a smile as he thought back to the day that he found Latias' Mega Stone. Actually, found wasn't the right world. Latias' Mega Stone appeared from the Rainbow Wing, just like Latios' Mega Stone and Latias decided to have an earring hold her Mega Stone for her. "You ready to do this, Latias?" Ash asked Latias with a smile, which Latias responded with a cry, finally happy to show her skills.

(Play Pokémon Heroes of Hoenn Song)

"No matter what, we won't give up! Togetic use Heat Wave!" Jon called out with narrowed eyes, holding out his right fist. Togetic let out a cry as she flapped her wings, unleashing Heat Wave at Latias, who dodged by descending into the sky. Mega Latios then easily flew down in front of Togetic, making Togetic and Jon widen their eyes in surprise.

"Latias, use Mist Ball!" Ash called out as he held his left hand out, which Latias gave out a cry as she fired a light pink ball of psychic energy, connecting with Togetic and causing an explosion, sending Togetic to the ground. "And Latias' attack, Mist Ball, I believe that it's called, lands a direct hit!" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd cheered, while Latias stayed in the air, looking down at Togetic, who took flight again.

"Use Shock Wave!" Jon Dickson called out to Togetic, who fired Shock Wave from her hands, which headed towards Latias, but she just held up her left wing-paw, easily stopping the attack, making Togetic and Jon widen their eyes in surprise. "But how!?" Jon called out in surprise at seeing Latas deflect Shock Wave so easily.

"Mist Ball cuts your Pokémon special attack power in half if it lands a hit, which means Togetic's special attack power is half to what it used to be now. Latias, turn invisible!" Ash explained and called out, which Latias gave a cry as she turned invisible, making Jon and Togetic widen their eyes in surprise. "Whoa, seems like Ash's new mystery Pokémon can disappear. What else dose Ketchum have up his sleeve!?" The announcer called out in excitement as the crowd cheered.

Togetic looked left and right to see or hear Latias, but so far she hasn't spotted the Legendary Pokémon. "Use Thunderbolt, Latias!" Ash called out with a smile, which Mega Latias appeared behind Togetic and unleashed Thunderbolt from her body, landing a super effective hit, and making Togetic cry out in pain. "Togetic!" Jon called out in concern as Mega Latias stopped the attack and flew back to in front of Ash, while Togetic floated down to in front of Jon, with electricity appearing around her, showing that she was paralyzed.

'Togetic is paralyzed now, which means this battle is almost over. Cross! I'll be waiting for you in the finals'. Ash thought to himself with a smirk, not noticing the Rainbow Wing in his pocket starting to glow.

Ash's eyes suddenly gained a multicolored glow as a rainbow flaming aura covered his body as large wings of light sprouted from his back as his hair stood upwards, which only his Pokémon were able to see. "Latias, let's end this with Dragon Impact!" Ash called out as Latias gave out a cry of power, before she fired Dragon Pulse and Mist Ball into the sky.

The two attacks mixed together, forming into a blue and pink energy dragon, before Mega Latias fly into the two attacks' energy, which formed a multicolored salamandra like dragon with large wings. The Eon Dragon descended as she snatched Jon Dickson's Togetic, before she took flight into the sky with Togetic trapped in the multicolored Dragon.

Mega Latias went up high into the sky, before she started flying back down to the sky, crashing into the ground, erupting in a massive explosion, nearly sending Jon off the fighting stage while the ref was knocked on his butt. Smoke covered the whole stadium, which everyone used their hands to cover their eyes, before Mega Latias descended back into the sky, out of the smoke with no damage.

The smoke soon cleared to show Togetic on the ground with swirls in her eyes, making Jon Dickson gasp, while Ash's friends and family also gasped. The referee got back on his feet and looked at Togetic to see if she could still battle. "Togetic is unable to battle! The winner is Latias, so the victor of the match is Ash Ketchum!" The referee called out as he raised the green flag to Ash's side of the field, while Ash's icon took the whole screen with the words 'Winner' underneath, showing that Ash was the winner.

(Song end and victor: Latias and Ash)

The stadium erupted in cheers for Ash's victory, with many fan girls screaming out Ash's name. "HE DID IT! MY BABY WON!" Delia shouted out in joy, while Professor Oak, Elm and Lorenzo smiled in joy for Ash's victory. "Way to go Ash, keep on winning till you win the whole thing!" Gary called out in joy for his best friend, knowing that he can win the whole championship.

Bianca smiled as she watched Ash run into the battlefield and gave Mega Latias a hug around the neck, which Latias gave Ash a cry of happiness as she turned back to normal. Bianca had tears of joy running down her face, while her cheeks were red. Bianca looked down at her drawing of Mega Latias and Ash, with Ash holding his right fist out, giving Latias a command. Bianca went to the last picture of her book, where she drawled a picture of her and Ash together in the garden, sitting down next to each other with smiles, while the Rainbow Wing was being held by Ash, showing it to Bianca, making her smile, wishing that one day that will happen in real life.

Harrison also cheered for Ash, while Macy and Jackson were doing the same, having watched the battle as well. In the stadium's shadows, Cross smiled at seeing Ash win. "I won't keep you waiting for long Ash, so get ready for the toughest battle in your life". Cross whispered to himself with a smile as he soon left, preparing for his battle so that he could advance to the finals and battle Ash.

Back in the stadium, Misty, Brock, Pikachu, Espeon, Togepi, Psyduck and Poiltoed were cheering for Ash's victory. "He did it, he did it! Ash is in the finals!" Misty called out in joy, jumping in the air. "Ash just needs to win one more battle and he's won the Silver Conference!" Brock called out in joy, very proud of Ash for coming so far. "Pika pi! / Espeee! / Togei! / Poli! / Psy!" All the Pokémon called out in joy for Ash, very happy for him.

Ash walked up to Jon with Latias floating next to him, who returned Togetic to her Poke Ball. "Jon, thanks for the awesome battle". Ash thanked Jon Dickson for the battle, holding his right hand out for a handshake. "I have to thank you Ash for the great battle, and good luck in the finals''. Jon replied to Ash with a smile, accepting Ash's handshake.

The two trainers shook hands, showing good sportsmanship and for the battle, while Pikachu and Espeon jumped onto Ash's shoulders, making the Rainbow Hero smile at Pikachu and Espeon.


(One hour later)

After leaving the stadium, Ash went to the Pokémon Center to heal his Pokémon team and select his team against Cross. Ash didn't need to watch to know that Cross won, especially when Brock told him since he saw the battle. Ash decided to not look up the data on Cross, wanting his battle against Cross be the best battle that he's ever been in and wants lots of surprises.

Ash right now was with Bianca, sitting down next to her by the same lake from before, watching as Latios and Latias fly around the lake, enjoying themselves. Ash decided to let Bianca have time with Latios and Latias for the rest of the day since they've been friends for a long time. Bianca had her not book in his hands, showing the Rainbow Hero all the drawings she's done.

"These are really amazing Bianca. You're probably the best artist in the world". Ash said to Bianca with a smile, making her blush by the Rainbow Hero's words, thinking that he looked cute when he smiles. "T-T-Thanks Ash". Bianca said to Ash with a smile and eyes closed, feeling her heart beat faster than usual.

Pikachu and Espeon were with Delia, who was preparing a big feast for Ash making it to the finals with everyone else with her, leaving Ash alone with Bianca, Latios and Latias. Ash and Bianca looked and saw Latios and Latias flying in the sky, having fun, making the two humans smile. Ash then looked down at the Key Stone in his left glove, before he brought out the Rainbow Wing in his right hand and looked at it. 'No matter what happens, I'll always have my 'family' with me'. Ash thought to himself with a smile, knowing that he'll never be alone.

Ash then felt something wrap around his left arm, getting him to look to see Bianca was the cause, who had her arms wrapped around Ash's left hand. "Hey". Ash said softly to Bianca, who was looking at the ground with a smile blush. "So warm". Bianca whispered to herself, feeling warm by holding Ash's arm, making the Rainbow smile at the female artist and went back to looking at the Rainbow Wing.

However, neither of the two humans noticed Latios and Latias watching them. The two Eon Dragons looked at each other, with Latias giggling and Latios smiling, thinking that Ash and Bianca would be a perfect match for each other. 'What do you think their kids would look like, brother? Will their daughter look like Bianca with Ash's hair?' Latias asked her brother with a cheeky smile on her face.

'It's too soon to think about that sis, but I'll admit that I'm wondering what their kids would look like and if they decided to become Pokémon trainers, or draw pictures like Bianca'. Latios replied to his sister with a smile, thinking that Ash and Bianca would be a good match for each other, leaving Latias giggling as she and her brother went back to watching Ash and Bianca.


(Later on, early in the morning next day, like 5: 00 AM)

Early in the morning in the next day, the Pokémon Champion of Johto, along with the Elite Four were on a train ride to Silver Town to watch the final match of the Johto League. The Pokémon Champion was Dragon Master Lance. Lance was a cool looking guy with dark clothes, a cape and spiky red hair and a fierce look on his youthful face. As his nickname explained, he specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon.

The members of the Elite Four were a peculiar bunch. First one was Will; he specialized in Psychic-type Pokémon. He dressed in quite an interesting fashion, wearing very formal clothes and a mask over his eyes. The next Elite Four member was a mighty man named Bruno. He was very muscular and dark skinned, wearing only slightly tan pants and had long spiky black hair tied in a ponytail and he specialized in Fighting-type Pokémon.

The third member of the Elite Four was the ice maiden, Lorelei. She was a beautiful woman with long hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a red tube top under a blue jacket and wearing a black skirt and black boots. She also had glasses on over her green eyes. Lorelei specialized in Ice-type Pokémon. The final member of the Elite Four was the one who specialized in Ghost-type Pokémon. She was a fairly old, middle aged woman who wore a purple dress with a white apron over it making her look like a middle aged house wife.

"How much longer do we have to sit here?" Lorelei whined to the group, trying to read a book to pass the time, but failed. "We sit until the train arrives at Silver Town, Lorelei". Lance calmly answered the Ice user, leaning his back against the wall. "You said that an hour ago". Lorelei whined again to the champion.

"Patience is a virtue young one". Agatha said to Lorelei with a smile, sitting down on the chair. Bruno was resting on his left arm, staring out the window, "Hey Will, can you check who's going to be in the Champion match?" Bruno asked the last Elite Four member, who was sitting down in a normal fashion. "Sure I can". Will replied to Bruno with his arms crossed. "Although I can only tell you their names, not what Pokémon they're using". The Psychic-type Elite Four member added as he uncrossed his arms.

"That's fine by me". Bruno replied to Will. Will pulled out his laptop and began typing on it to log into the main frame. After a few minutes, he got in. "Alright I'm in". Will said to the group, getting everyone's attention as they looked at him. "The first trainer's name is Cross. He's a trainer from the Aloa Region". Will began to explain to the group, looking at a picture of Cross.

"From Alola? That's pretty far off from here". Lance said in surprise to hear someone from the Alola Region is here in Johto. "Does it say what type he specializes in?" Agatha asked Will on what types that Cross uses. "It says he's a specialist in Dark-type Pokémon". Will answered the oldest member of the Elite Four. "He sounds like a competent trainer. Now the next trainer is… oh my, this is quite surprising!" Will said in surprise, getting everyone confused.

"What is it?" Lorelei asked her friend on why he looked confused. "It says here that his name is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town in the Kanto Region". Will replied to Lorelei, making her, Bruno and Lance widen their eyes in surprise. "What!" Lance called out in surprise, standing up. Lorelei and Bruno also looked surprised as they stood up as well and the three of them crowded around the laptop to get a better look. "It is Ash". Lance said, slightly shocked at seeing Ash. "I don't know how, but it's definitely him". Lance continued to speak, feeling proud of Ash.

"That little kid actually made it this far". Bruno said impressed with how far Ash has come in such a short time. "I wonder how?" Lorelei questioned in wonder, wondering how Ash has come this far. "When I met him, he was a very cocky little kid, but to change that much in a year is surprising". Lorelei added, amazed with how much Ash has change.

Will and Agatha looked confused at the three's reactions. "Not to be too obvious in exposing our ignorance, but what in the world are you three going on about?" Agatha questioned the Champion and members of the Elite Four. "I met this kid back in Kanto". Bruno answered Agatha, beginning to explain how he knows Ash. "We were in a valley where I was trying to catch an Onix". Bruno added, thinking back to when he caught his Onix.

"I met him in the Orange Islands, when I was giving one of my lectures". Lorelei said to Agatha, telling her how she met him. "I met Ash at the Lake of Rage when the whole red Gyarados thing was going on". Lance said to Agatha, telling her how he met Ash. The rest of the train ride there they filled in Agatha and Will on how they met Ash. By the end, Agatha and Will were mystified by this Ash and wanted to meet him for themselves.


And done! Whoa that sure took it out of me. Anyway, I want to ask some questions. What Pokémon should Ash use to win in his battle against Cross, should it be Charizard or Latios. Also should Sorrel get a shiny Latios in the Hoenn Region and should Verity get a shiny Latias as well, just so Ash's Latios and Latias have mates as well. One last thing, what Mega Pokémon should Cross use, and make sure it's a Dark Type. Goodnight and leave review or massages.
